L to R: Cliffie Stone, Merle Travis, Eddie Kirk, Hank Thompson, Tennessee Ernie Ford (the man in the background is unidentifiable). Here’s Cliffie, Merle, Eddie, Hank and Ernie having a good time meeting, signing autographs and having their photos taken with their fans. Meeting and mingling with his fans after a show was always one of Cliffie’s favorite things to do. As Cliffie once said, “There is nothing more fun or more gratifying than seeing, hearing and feeling an audience’s love and appreciation after doing a show where I’ve given my best to entertain and make them laugh! And as I stand next to the stage and look up at the sky, I think to myself,‘It’s a wonderful world’!”
